I have been training pet parents and their dogs and practising as an applied canine behaviourist for more than 30 years.
I also have a passion for training the person and enabling every person to have a socially acceptable and balanced pet. I am a qualified adult education teacher and specialise in the human-canine interface. Understanding the person has always been of huge importance to me, as much as understanding the dog.
I live in Hampshire where I share my life with four Tibetan Terriers and a rescue working sheepdog. My fields of interest include training (offering mental stimulus training through obedience and trick-training), and breed showing.
I am an A-list breed Judge for the Tibetan Terrier. I get great pleasure in providing workshops in both Dog Training, Behaviour and Ringcraft and in writing and publishing books.
At the Kennel Club’s invitation, I made appearances at Crufts and Discover Dogs demonstrating and educating audiences for five consecutive years, with an open invitation to return to this at any time.
An emphasis on training each puppy in the litters was hugely important, beginning with bio-sensory puppy training.
E
ach pup received daily individual training from three-days old, the training continued until leaving for their new homes, finally receiving recall training to the whistle, setting them up for the best possible start in life.
